Currently trying to arrange a holiday in May. For Christ's sake Charlton, can you please hurry up and make your flipping mind up whether you're crap or brilliant?!5

Oddly, I thought it would be typical if we won this one...0

Would like to see our record with Page and Dijksteel starting as Full Backs.
I feel this has been key.4 -
Post match views. Bullet points:
- Gritty. Determined. Ground-out. So on, so forth - all apposite words to describe that performance. We were the better team through lots of graft. That sort of performance was almost the reverse of, say, Scunthorpe. What they did to us, we did to Shrewsbury.
- Jake Forster-Caskey was an absolute animal. Every time we cleared it/half-cleared it; won the ball back/half-won it back; every set piece - basically him. He has looked stellar in the last few weeks in particular (from what I've seen - didn't catch AFC Wimbledon), and good throughout the season. Pearce today was nearly as good - relished the battles and thoroughly deserved that goal.
- Mavididi and Fosu are lightweight, but they're so skilful it nearly didn't matter. Wouldn't mind seeing them a bit more muck-and-bullets, though not to the detriment of their utility as outlets.
- Bauer solid. Page solid. Dijksteel solid. I mean, they kept a clean sheet and just about worked well together with Amos (also solid) - not much more I can say about them as a defensive unit! Pearce only just about the star of it because he scored.
- Konsa for me seemed equal parts excellent (defensively, especially late on) and poor (dallied on the ball; no use going forward; generally very hesitant). Out of position it seemed to me.
- Marshall like a less useless Kaikai. Had a couple of moments, but not many. Magennis ploughed his lone furrow and wasn't too great, but won a few more headers and no defender would say they had an easy time of it against him. Good finish.
- Seemed almost tactically spot on. Shrewsbury make a little go a very, very long way - they're set up well and set up for function over form, given their resources.
- Ref was fantastically inconsistent. Mainly in the hosts' favour - but not always - but he was generally shite.
-----------------------
Roll on the rest of the season. This is a much better sequence of events than winning vs Scunny and losing today - the momentum may well resume just before the playoffs...

That goal from Magennis was one of the funniest goals I have ever seen!0

JFC and Pearce were immense tonight, although Pearce did miss a free header to put us ahead earlier in the match.
Shrewsbury looked more lively in the first half imo, despite Amos being relatively untroubled.
We only really got going after about an hour when Mavididi and Fosu started to get more involved.
A really gritty performance; just hope it isn’t spoit on saturday like we usually do when we get a decent turn out.0 -
a great result and really put the cat back amongst the pidgeons. Still need a minimum of seven points from the remaining nine and then just pray. All nine would do it. Still think we will fall just short but at least we are making a fist of it whilst a few weeks ago a top ten finish looked the best we could hope for. If only KR had gone a month sooner.1

Absolutely this. If we don't make it people will point to the three games under Bowyer. Easy to forget the mid season disaster under the previous bloke...LargeAddick said:a great result and really put the cat back amongst the pidgeons.

Two hours ahead here and up at 5:15, so watched it on iFollow and knocked it on the head at half time!!!
I think I've just discovered a new routine for the rest of the season!2 -
Not a great performance, but against a team who played a bit more and left a bit more space we managed to grind out a result.
Would be happy with 3 more of them thanks.0 -
Definitely look a better side with them in Bowyer's team.Charltonparklane said:Would like to see our record with Page and Dijksteel starting as Full Backs.

Even though Marshall and Page never really have stand out performances, I think we are a way better side with them both in the team, particularly Page. We never seem to leave huge gaps defensively unlike when JDS plays3

Bit unfair Josh. Jay DaSilva has been absolutely magnificent this season.7

His only weakness is he's not great at defending.cafcnick1992 said:Bit unfair Josh. Jay DaSilva has been absolutely magnificent this season.

Fantastic result. Well done to the lads and the travelling support.
Pompey game is huge now.0 -
What time did people get home?0

Nice to see the Charlton boss in a shirt and tie not a bloody shell suit3

I like DaSilva but hard to disagree our better performances recently are when Page is playing. Would definitely start him SaturdayJoshAddick said:Even though Marshall and Page never really have stand out performances, I think we are a way better side with them both in the team, particularly Page.

I thought Shrewsbury tried to beat us and it seems that is not the best way to play against us. It is better to have as many bodies in your defensive box when we are attacking and to press us in midfield and wait for us to make a mistake.
When opponents try to go toe to toe with us, you can actually see the ability in the side. Shrewsbury are deservedly a top three side and we deserved to beat them. Probably better we have away games and a tough home game to come.0 -
Posting without eating breakfast.
Arill buzzing from watching thay last night. What a performance. Every player on that pitch did themselves proud. Fought hard and never gave an inch. Proper Charlton performance.
Special word for Konsa who was there for every second ball and was everywhere in midfield - best performance from him in ages.
Pearce - what a fighter of a man.
Magennis - led the line brilliantly and deserved that goal at the end even if it was down to them going all our for a goal.2
